Last 10 Women's Vault Winners at the Olympics | Top Moments

The glitter hairspray just sent me back to my childhood. The particular smell. The entire girl's bathroom in my gym covered in glitter. The mirrors, the sinks, the toilet seats. The early 2000's were wild.

The vaults are harder and require more power that’s harder to contain, plus they now land on mats which are bouncier and safer for their joints.
